Left hand door pillar

On my 53 the LH door has been sprung and the pillar trashed. Any body have a source for the complete pillar with hinge buckets?
I have already relaced the RH cowl panel and rocker and was ready to start on the LH side when I noticed that the pillar is warped and torn around the hinges. This doesn't look like a patch that could be made to look real good.

Mid- Fiftyonly has the lower half of the pillar, as does BOTP. I really need the whole thing.

Come on, somebody has to make one. If this was going to be a show only, I would go suicide and wouldn't have to worry about it. But this is going to be a daily driver and parts chaser.

May be a lost cause anyway, got bad news today. I took a fall last week and thought I pulled a muscle in my left arm. Now the Doc seems to think I tore my bicep tendon and if so will need surgery. 6-8 weeks off work. There goes any money to work on the 53 for a long time to come.

I don't think anyone makes the upper portion of the door pillar. Most replacement panels are due to rust and not many upper pillars rust away, just the lower part.
